Verses 2-3
2, 3. Years may roll on, and sacrificial routine may be continued, but not long hence this shall be interrupted.
I will distress Ariel Jerusalem shall be severely besieged.
Heaviness and sorrow Appalling affliction shall befall her. The expression is as if the prophet had vision of all the siege troubles of Jewish history concentrated in one view, from Sennacherib to Titus, so far as the intensity of the distress is considered. The sieges, however, of which we have here a prophetic forecast, included, probably, only those experienced prior to the fall of Judea and the captivity.
I will camp Will bring to pass that an army shall, etc.
With a mount An elevation on which to erect battering rams, and on which to place marksmen to shoot their arrows into the city.
Raise forts Walls, citadels, towers.
Be the first to react on this!
